New HABA Gift Items Make Babies Giggle as They Grow

SKANEATELES, N.Y., Feb. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- There is nothing as delightful as the sound of a baby's laughter. Filled with pure wonder as they discover the world around them, baby giggles are every parent's favorite sound. This may be one of the reasons that HABA baby products have done so well ... because they make babies giggle and laugh.

Known for its high-quality, award-winning line of fun baby gift items, HABA has become an evergreen brand that is sold in specialty toy and gift stores all over the world. Perhaps it's because they create their products with a baby's sense of discovery in mind. Here are some of the wonderful new products HABA is showcasing in booth #647 at this year's American International Toy Fair:

    -- Discovery Balls -- Whether baby is shaking, squeezing or peering into
       the peephole of this ball of fun, they'll be grinning from ear to ear.

       or Viewer) to provide hours of variety. Can also be bought in a set of
       four (contains one ball with rattle, mirror, green peephole and narrow
       peephole.) MSRP $5.00/per ball. $18 for set of 4
    -- Pacifier chains -- Babies love their binkies, but sometimes they want
       to laugh without something in their mouth. HABA's new pacifier chains
